The Gill Foundation is a humble effort from its founders, Harry & Sandy Gill, who have set a goal to create a £10m endowment fund for long lasting impact. The foundation supports long term global partnerships that help inspire young minds aged 6-18 as well as conservation efforts to protect our beautiful planet across land, water and air. We believe to tackle the worlds biggest problems you just need to make a start, no matter how big or small.

A message from Harry and Sandy Gill
“After years of helping charities in an ad-hoc manner, we realised we needed to focus our efforts in some key areas we deeply believe in. This led us to setting up our foundation and zoning in on helping young minds become the best version of themselves whilst protecting our planet today for future generations to enjoy. We believe small actions can create a flywheel of momentum over time. Although our efforts are small, our intent means we stay focussed, measure our impact through trusted partnerships and get on the ground to see things in action. We hope you join us in making a difference, no matter how big or small."

Our focus areas
Young Minds Aged 6-18
10% of children and young people (aged 5 to 16 years) have a clinically diagnosable mental problem, yet 70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age. 20% of adolescents may experience a mental health problem in any given year. 50% of mental health problems are established by age 14 and 75% by age 24. If we help with early intervention, we believe we can support our future generations to be bold, feel inspired and feel valued.

Protecting Our Planet
Conservation helps protect global biodiversity, which faces significant threats today. With around one million species at risk of extinction, habitat destruction is the primary cause, driving over 88% of species declines, followed by exploitation and climate change. Our aim is to actively protection, preserve and manage Earth's natural resources. We back charities that safeguard air, land, water, biodiversity, and the climate for current and future generations.
